Solatube International Inc.

Solatube International’s SkyVault Series M74 DS Core Unit has a 29-inch diameter opening to the sky. Temperature is controlled with insulated and sealed, curb-mounted roof assemblies that minimize heat gain/loss through the roof (dual dome option improves thermal efficiency more). The Solatube SkyVault Series M74 DS with Amplifier extension can be installed in high ceilings and can focus light onto task planes below. It has 36 highly reflective facets made of Spectralight Infinity material, and reorients daylight to strike the diffuser at a steep, straight angle. The Solatube SkyVault Series M74 DS with Collector extension provides daylighting to high bay/high ceiling spaces that require large amounts of natural light. It has a vertical lens that boosts light output under marginal conditions, and it captures low-angle daylight.

Velux America LLC

Velux America’s VELUX curved glass skylight features CurveTech, a curved glass surface that emits daylight and drains rainwater. Direct roof mounting brings large amounts of daylight through flat roofs. The skylight has a double-glazed window with protective curved-shaped glass or polycarbonate cover. Its protective cover keeps its inner pane warmer, reducing likelihood of condensation and minimizing sound from rain and hail. Additionally, the VELUX curved glass skylight has a PVC curb with polystyrene insulation.
